People make euphemism
when they fight with others;
and make poetry
when they fight with themselves.

When i was a young mother of two,
I had no time to sleep and waited till they grew,
But now that, they have grown,
My arteries and bones have grown old,
And are refusing to allow me to lie down,
Isn't it ironical, I say, with a frown.
When we make a hyperbole of small things,
Metaphorically, our imaginations develop wings!!!
Once our children grow older, we prefer euphemism,
Though health issues set in, we prefer optimism.
As we age gracefully, we think of the advantages,
Trying to reduce our emotion and attachment baggages.

Being Friend Zoned Is A
Long Distance Relationship.
Tough To Travel.
Shortest, But The Toughest.

EUPHEMISM

Life is blood,
Blood is life,
But not to dead men walking.

Hope is a far-fetched trophy,
To these eyes; soggy with sorrow,
The lifeline of kindness; drained,
Sieved and recycled into hostility.

Empathy is humanity,
Inhumanely treated by humans,
And boxed into a dungeon; dark and lovely .

"Cut. Cut. Cut,
Cut to the chase,
Enough of this epistle,
We are running out of time."

We are always running out of time,
Like a patient thief salvaging harvests,
And like squirrels; breaking palm nuts,
With its head and hands simultaneously.

°°•EUPHEMISM OR OPTIMISM•°°
(Page 4 of 4)
Whilst Mr. Oga
& Wife reflects
on these 'kind &
optimistic words,'
offered thus far ,
(from sympathizers,)
this lets their tears
gland bust yet again;
trauma & memories
becomes anew

'Lord is all truly well?'
'God why my angel?'
Whatever happened
to euphemism, truth,
love & empathy; they cried!
'I'm broken & at lost!'
Barr. Oga cries &
soliloquizes.

Does it matter; whether
its sympathy or empathy...
euphemism or optimism shared?
Its now in your end; this bulk!
...why paint God cruel;
to what end?
Do we even care?

Euphemism
(Dysphemism)


I love you too;
(You're one of a few);
You're so cute, so soft,
(To leave, I'm preparing the draft);
You're so dear and different;
(To your love, I'm so indifferent);
I pray to be with you next life,
(You're for me sheer strife);
You'll always be in my heart,
(I'm a new love just to start);
I can even die for you,
(Is still some life left in you)?
Please be in touch,
(I've already had too much);
Take care of yourself,
(Don't wanna see even your Elf)!

°°•EUPHEMISM OR OPTIMISM•°°
(Page 2 of 4)
its being three weeks
now since
Oga lost
a girl child
with no words from
'his pal' - a pal for life
for weeks-
the bereaved have
being in trauma
& sheer disbelief
indeed!

Barr. Do-good tries to empathize,
or rather sympathize
with a just hurried ritual.

He says: 'Eyaah; I'm sorry!'
"Take heart 'my friend'!'"
'It is well- my friend!'
' Brace up; life goes on!'
(fitting clichés?)
...and swiftly, Barr. Do-good moves on.

A broken Mr. Oga looks on
as his pal walks off & spontaneously,
he cries some more
